Cross-Asset Alpha Engine: Complete System Analysis

Executive Summary

IMPORTANT: All empirical analysis in this project is conducted at daily frequency using daily OHLCV bars from Polygon.io. No intraday, tick, or order-book data is used in the current experiment.

This notebook presents a comprehensive end-to-end analysis of the Cross-Asset Alpha Engine, a quantitative trading system designed to generate alpha through regime-aware feature engineering and machine learning techniques. The system integrates multiple asset classes, uses quantile-based regime detection, and utilizes advanced feature engineering to capture cross-asset relationships and daily microstructure-inspired patterns computed from daily OHLCV bars.

System Architecture Overview

The Cross-Asset Alpha Engine is built on a modular architecture that separates concerns across data ingestion, feature engineering, regime detection, alpha generation, and portfolio construction. This design enables robust backtesting, easy extensibility, and clear separation between research and production components.

Core Components

Data Infrastructure Layer: Handles market data ingestion, caching, and preprocessing
Feature Engineering Engine: Generates predictive features across multiple timeframes and asset classes
Regime Detection System: Identifies market regimes using Hidden Markov Models
Alpha Model Framework: Combines features and regime information to generate return predictions
Portfolio Construction Module: Converts alpha signals into position sizes with risk constraints
Execution Simulator: Models realistic transaction costs and market impact
Performance Analytics: Comprehensive backtesting and risk analysis framework

Key Design Principles

Regime Awareness: All models adapt to changing market conditions
Cross-Asset Integration: Leverages relationships between equities, volatility, rates, and commodities
Daily Microstructure-Inspired Features: Incorporates daily price and volume patterns computed from OHLCV bars (not true intraday data)
Risk Management: Built-in position sizing and risk controls
Extensibility: Modular design allows easy addition of new features and models

Data Infrastructure and Universe Construction

The foundation of any quantitative trading system lies in robust data infrastructure. Our approach combines multiple asset classes to capture the complex interdependencies that drive market behavior.

Asset Universe Design

Our universe consists of three primary components:

Core Equity Universe: Large-cap liquid ETFs and individual stocks
Broad Market ETFs: SPY (S&P 500), QQQ (NASDAQ 100), IWM (Russell 2000)
Mega-Cap Stocks: AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN, TSLA, NVDA, META
Regime Indicators: Cross-asset instruments that signal market regime changes
Volatility: VIX (equity volatility)
Rates: TLT (20+ year Treasury bonds)
Commodities: GLD (gold), USO (oil)
Currency: DXY (US Dollar Index)
Data Quality Standards
Minimum 500 observations per instrument
Daily frequency with OHLCV + VWAP
Survivorship bias considerations
Corporate action adjustments

Feature Engineering Framework

Feature engineering is the cornerstone of our alpha generation process. We employ a multi-layered approach that captures patterns across different timeframes and asset classes.

Feature Categories

Technical Indicators: Traditional momentum, mean reversion, and volatility measures
Daily Microstructure-Inspired Features: VWAP deviations, volume patterns, and daily price dynamics (all computed from daily OHLCV bars)
Cross-Asset Signals: Inter-market relationships and regime-dependent correlations
Risk Factors: Volatility clustering, tail risk measures, and drawdown indicators

Mathematical Framework

Our feature engineering process follows a systematic approach:

Normalization: All features are z-scored within rolling windows to ensure stationarity
Regime Conditioning: Features are computed separately for different market regimes
Forward-Looking Bias Prevention: Strict point-in-time calculations with no future information
Robustness Testing: Features are validated across different market conditions

============================================================
CROSS-ASSET ALPHA ENGINE - BACKTEST RESULTS
============================================================

Strategy Profile:
  Market-neutral with avg gross exposure ~33.9%
  Low beta to universe benchmark (near-zero net exposure)
  Focus on risk-adjusted returns and diversification

Transaction Cost Assumptions:
  Cost per side: 5.0 bps
  Average daily turnover: 30.4%
  Total transaction costs: 1.96%

Performance Metrics (Net of Transaction Costs):
  Total Return: 2.1%
  Annualized Return: 4.3%
  Volatility: 4.1%
  Sharpe Ratio: 0.529 [0.344, 0.714]
  Maximum Drawdown: -2.7%
  Win Rate: 53.5%

Benchmark Comparison:
  Universe Equal-Weight Benchmark Return: 28.1%
  Excess Return vs Benchmark: -26.0%
  Information Ratio: -2.615 [-3.106, -2.353]

Note: The benchmark is the equal-weight average return across the equity
universe. The strategy is constructed to be nearly market-neutral; therefore,
we expect it to have low beta to this benchmark and to prioritize risk-adjusted
metrics (Sharpe, max drawdown) over raw excess return, especially in strong bull markets.

============================================================

Regime Analysis:
Regime distribution in test period:
  High_Vol_Med_VIX: 387 observations - High volatility, medium VIX - Stressed market conditions
  Med_Vol_Med_VIX: 387 observations - Medium volatility, medium VIX - Typical market environment
  Low_Vol_Med_VIX: 387 observations - Low volatility, medium VIX - Mixed signals, potential transition

Statistical Significance Testing

This section performs comprehensive statistical tests to validate the significance of the strategy's performance, including:

Sharpe Ratio Significance: t-test to determine if Sharpe ratio is significantly different from zero
Bootstrap Confidence Intervals: Non-parametric confidence intervals for key metrics
Alpha Persistence Tests: Tests for consistent alpha generation over time
Regime-Specific Performance: Statistical tests for performance across different market regimes
Information Ratio Significance: Tests for excess return vs benchmark significance
